Today's best carbon composite front forks (often called "carbon fiber front forks") weigh on average about one-third of steel forks and half of aluminum forks. Therefore, it is no wonder that the proportion of front forks you see in mass-produced bicycles and aftermarkets is getting higher and higher, and they are all made of carbon. Compared with installing lighter wheels, installing carbon fiber...

When selecting a valve stem, the main considerations are length, height, stem diameter and material. But don't get too entangled, it is a relatively easy decision-making process when deciding what is right for you. The handlebar stem seems to be a fairly standard device, but it has a huge impact on control and comfort. Getting the wrong size of the stem not only becomes a problem, but also the ste...

Not as much as you think. When you ride for hours and climb steep hills, you may feel that the weight of the bicycle under you is seriously slowing you down. However, reducing a few ounces (which usually involves buying more expensive parts) will only save you a few seconds. This is certainly not the most effective or cost-effective way to pursue speed.

Should you choose an aero bike or a light bike? Should you ride a deep wheel or a lightweight climbing ring? Assuming that we all want to be as fast as possible, we first need to consider the advantages of reduced air resistance and begin to defeat lighter and less aviation equipment. Jean-Paul Ballard is an aerodynamicist, engineer and co-founder of Swiss Side. He has served as the chief engineer...

The three key touch points that connect you to the bicycle are: pedals, seat, and handlebars. Most cyclists spend a lot of time choosing the first two with military precision-but the best bicycle handlebars are often forgotten. Choosing the ideal handlebar for you can have a huge impact on your comfort and performance, as they play an important role in determining your position and weight distribu...

When you’re choosing carbon rims or a carbon frame, understanding the differences between UD, 3K, and 12K weaves can make a big difference. Each type affects weight, stiffness, and durability in unique ways. By learning how these fibers work, you can pick components that match your riding style, whether you’re aiming for lightweight performance, a strong frame, or a stylish finish. What Do 3K, 12K...

Even if you are not going to climb any peaks, mountain biking is still a good investment. Mountain biking is difficult. They have a suspension system that provides a comfortable riding experience, and the thick, wide tires are less prone to skidding than the slender tires of cruiser bikes, especially on wet roads. Mountain bikes have a strong and lightweight alloy frame. They are definitely not ju...
